To wrap up a meaningful year of giving, our final Boops for Good donation of 2024 was made to Dachshund Rescue of North America (DRNA). This choice was inspired by our Chief Canine Officer, @luckoftheisles, a longhaired dapple dachshund. Our deep admiration for this breed, a cornerstone of our brand, is reflected in designs like Beloved Breeds and Hot Dog Lover, and is further underscored by this meaningful donation.
Why Dachshund Rescue of North America?
Dachshund Rescue of North America (DRNA) is a dedicated organization focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dachshunds and dachshund mixes in need across the United States and Canada. Since its founding in 1999, DRNA has helped thousands of dachshunds find loving forever homes. Their mission aligns perfectly with our belief that every dog deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life.
For dachshunds, breed-specific rescue organizations like DRNA are vital. While dachshunds are renowned for their loyalty, bravery, and spirited nature, they also face unique challenges—whether it’s their strong prey drive, special health needs like back issues (a common concern for the breed), or the need for careful training due to their independent streak. DRNA understands these nuances and provides tailored support to ensure each dachshund’s transition to a new home is as smooth as possible.
DRNA’s approach includes:
-
Fostering: Each rescued dachshund is placed with a loving foster family, where they receive the care and attention they need to thrive.
-
Medical Care: DRNA makes sure each dog receives necessary medical attention, from vaccinations to spay/neuters to addressing any breed-specific health concerns like intervertebral disc disease, which affects many dachshunds due to their long backs.
-
Adoption Support: Through their thorough application and matching process, DRNA works to find the best homes for each dachshund, prioritizing the well-being of both the dog and their new family.
Why Giving Back is Core to Boogs & Boop?
At Boogs & Boop, we believe that every purchase should contribute to something bigger. Through Boops for Good, we donate 1-2% of our quarterly profits to animal shelters nationwide, along with new and sample dog accessories, to support their tireless efforts to care for pets in need.
As a brand that champions the well-being of all dogs, we wanted to make sure our final donation of 2024 supported a cause that directly aligns with the needs of a breed we love—one that is often misunderstood or in need of specialized care. Dachshunds may be small in size, but they have big hearts and a unique set of needs, and DRNA's dedication to those needs is something we proudly support.
